In video/logo/pnmtologo.c, the function read_image can read from the
image file an integer 0 and pass it to function get_number255, leading
to a divide by zero problem.

Thanks for your patch!

Please be consistent with other places reporting errors, e.g.

     die("%s: invalid maxval zero\n", filename);

This looks like a strange place to check the validity of maxval.
What about checking if right after its assignment?
To avoid duplicating code, you can create a helper:

     static unsigned int get_maxval(FILE *fp)
     {
 	unsigned int maxval = get_number(fp);

 	if (!maxval)
 	    die("%s: invalid maxval zero\n", filename);

 	return maxval;
     }

and:

     /* Plain PGM */
-   maxval = get_number(fp);
+   maxval = get_maxval(fp);

and:

     /* Plain PPM */
-   maxval = get_number(fp);
+   maxval = get_maxval(fp);
